We finally have an actual 1A question about social media and I’m wondering where the Twitter Files dupes are?

Unfortunately, this is the last 70+ years of conservative politics if we count white flight from public schools after the Brown v. Board of Education decision. It was the essence of Reaganism in the 1980s as well

for those who aren't aware, the Philly QB, Jalen Hurts, is a big advocate for women in sports, and his management team is all women. I just think he's neat.

remember stuff like this when they tell you that diversity means a lowering of standards

We'd seen enough election irregularities on Election Day to question the result. And then, like the villain in every Bond movie, he bragged about how he did it. So WHY did they let him get away with it? Read my latest Substack and find out. brooklyndaddefiant.substack.com/p/trumps-con...

As MLK famously said, injustice anywhere isn’t really a big deal to justice everywhere, no matter how much the loudest voices might want to equate the two

We all know voters wanted more pregnancy harassment in the work place.

Incredible that almost every DC press outlet ran with Brendan Carr's self-branding as a "free speech warrior" and his first major actions as Chair of the FCC have been to weaponize the agency to bully media outlets over press coverage that Trump doesn't like

All the people who were firefighting experts last week are now NTSB Air Disaster Investigators.

I wonder how many people will do things against their better judgment for Trump not so much from a blindly following orders standpoint but because they figure he’s the president, he must know something they don’t. When what he knows is actually something he saw some dumb ass say on Fox News.

White privilege is firing a bunch of FAA officials because REASONS, forcing the FAA Director to resign, freezing all hiring of air traffic controllers, and then having planes crash and drop out of the sky in a span of TWO FUCKING DAYS and getting to KEEP YOUR JOB. My Black ass would be fired.

If you don't think Social Security & Medicare are next, you're not paying attention. If you voted for this, you deserve all that's coming. I've spent my entire life a bleeding heart for others less fortunate, but I have no drops left for you. I feel nothing... except for your children. Damn you all.

His mama named him gulf of Mexico so that's what I'm gon call em

So a reminder: It’s not ‘liberals’ saying Hegseth abuses women. It’s his mom. It’s not ‘liberals’ comparing Trump to Hitler. It’s his vice-president. It’s not ‘liberals’ calling Musk a liar and a racist. It’s his own child. For the record.

Just insane that the left treated the tech industry with increasing hostility just because they undermined organized labor, flouted the regulatory state, and bragged that they were going to get rid of everybody's jobs for a decade straight.

I’ve mentioned this before, but if you’re short on cash but have an urge to shop, go to your library digital apps and browse the books, audiobooks, movies, shoes, magazines. It works really well to give you the same feeling without spending the cash. (Plus you’re supporting public libraries.) 💙📚
